This is the probably the best hotel at Plitvices Lakes (in the national park) but the hotel is older and showing its age. The massage service was excellent, particularly after doing the 6+ hour hike. The dinner buffet needs work and definitely not worth 30 euros, food is cold and has limited choices. Breakfast was fine (not great) as it was included in the hotel price but again, limited choices. The location of this hotel is excellent, it was easy to find, and parking was easy but you have to get there before the crowds.

The location of the hotel is perfect. We had a wonderful experience in the lakes and hiking.
The hotel is rundown, and the staff were not as friendly or helpful as they could have been, and there were zero amenities in the hotel room
It was expensive for the experience

Great location and notably well managed hotel with outstanding staff who provided extra help whenever needed. The hotel caters to National Park visitors and hosts group tours but you never felt part of a crowd. The park was spectacular, even with some mobility issues, and the hotel was a perfect choice. Rooms were large, clean and comfortable. Not luxury but better than basic in terms of comfort and functionality. Breakfast was also very pleasant. Would stay again if I return to Plitvice. It is a very very short walk to entrance two.

Liked the MCM feel of the public spaces and our room, while more basic in design, was comfortable and well suited to our stay. Buffet breakfast was included in our stay and had many offerings.

This is a very old and tired hotel that happens to have a great location that you pay dearly for. We chose to eat from the buffet, which was below average. The hot food was cold. The quality of the food was just not there the service in the dining room was slow and was disappointing. During the weekend there were lots of young families unfortunately, their kids were running up and down the hallways and no one did anything about it. They are building a new five star hotel next to this one that should be available in 2028.

The national park is amazing. If I was to go back, I would not stay at this hotel, I would simply book the park and stay somewhere that I could drive to the park in an hour or so. The hotel smelled bad and was really old and not well maintained. The breakfast was mediocre but the breakfast room was crowded and (at least on the day we were there - it was raining) dark.

The hotel is not worth staying in.
If you are there at the height of the season may be it’s worth it, but like us if you are here the first week of October, then stay in one of the local hotels or B&B and park in the park parking lot before entering the park.
The breakfast was mass produced and the hotel is most certainly using the closeness of the park to its full advantage. Certainly not worth the money. Poor food, broken furniture. Look elsewhere depending as to when you are planning your trip. The pro was worth every penny

1. All staff were friendly, patient with questions, and helpful. Reception staff and dining staff encountered the largest groups of visitors. At check in/checkout sorting rooms and final payment of incidentals and during meals. Staff always helpful and knowledgeable.
2. Dining options both buffet and the Waterfall restaurant were delicious. The Waterfall is most elegant, lunch menu choices included a delicate trout dish, subtly seasoned and flavorful. We ate most of our meals from the buffet. Breakfast included homemade tasty mildly spicy sausages. My husband doesn’t usually eat sausage but he devoured these little gems as did I. Evening meals included an array of meats and fish, vegetables, salads, and desserts. All nicely prepared, presented, and replenished. We spent 3 days and 2 nights so had an opportunity to sample a variety of dishes.
3. Our room was clean, quiet, spacious, and comfortable temperature.
4. The fitness room is well equipped and the Finnish sauna was a nice topoff after walking the lakes.
5. One small quibble…the whirlpool features of jetted water and heated water were unavailable. One could dally in the cool water after time in the water after time in the sauna, which we did.
6. I’m glad we stayed here. I highly recommend this hotel. It provided the amenities we desired. Thank you.
7. One last item…proximity to the park entrance #2 is a short 2-3 minute walk. Also the hotel provides complimentary rides to entrance #1 & 2 other local eateries.

The hotel had promised via email to provide an electric fan during our stay. But when we checked in the reception told that there wasn’t any electric fan. We were greatly disappointed at their lack of any integrity in running the hotel. Also, owing to the shabby condition of the hotel, there’s no ventilation inside the bathroom which is always stuffy and stinky.

We stayed in superior suite lake side. Room was comfortable and clean, with quiet surroundings (if exclude sounds of tourist vehicles from early morning). Breakfast was average with not so much choice. Beverages and food were low quality for the price we paid. Tennis terrains are not maintained and not usable. Near hotel there is a devastated hotel that looks creepy and smelling bad. Strangely, the ambulance car was constantly parked in front of the hotel which gave us uncomfortable feeling. Overall, we are dissatisfied and would not recommend.

This is a nice, convenient place to stay when visiting Plitvice Lakes. However, it's a popular stop for tour buses so the hotel was full of frantic crowds. It's amusing mostly, but the crowds in the hotel and the restaurant were somewhat unexpected for us. Also the wifi is non existent, which wasn't too big of a deal because we didn't visit one of the most beautiful places on earth to sit in the hotel and use the internet.

Stayed here for two nights whilst visiting Plitvice Lakes. The location is perfect, right next to entrance 2 of the park allowing easy access. The room and hotel itself are fine for a short stay, but could do with some updating. The buffet at breakfast and dinner, could both do with some more options, and definitely some better labelling. We were travelling with a vegetarian, who struggled to understand what food was suitable as some veggie options still looked like they contained meat.

Pick another hotel

I usually try andd find something positive about a hotel when I review, but in this case I'm struggling. Location, at it's at entrance 2 is possibly the only thing, but TBH entrance 1 is the best one to pick. We paid extra for a park view room, and our room overlooked the car park, when I complained the woman on reception said a park view meant a parkint lot view, in a sarcastic tone. The hotel itself screams out, help the 1970's left me behind, and it feels like mainteance was last done then. Did not try the reastaurent for dinner due to reviews, but it was OK for breakfast, a huge area of buffet, but spread out, clound have used half the space for the options provided. See pictures for my view, and exmples of poor maintenance and design. This was part of a 10 day trip, and was the most expensive as well as being the worst by a considerable margin, in hindsight would have stayed further away and driven into the park / out again

A fabulous location close to the park entry which was fabulous to be able to leave the car in the car park and walk 100m to buy tickets and head down to the boat. It is a very large hotel and is easy yo locate and drive into off the main road. Our room was comfortable and clean. It was a little noisy when other patrons used their shower/baths.

The main attraction is of course Plitvice Lakes, which are a wonder of nature.

The hotel is right next to the lakes. So, the location could not be more convenient. Being at the hotel makes one experience the spirit of the extraordinarily beautiful place.

It is true that the rooms look a bit outdated but who cares! My room was quite clean and huge.

The breakfast buffet was quite comprehensive and excellent.

The staff at the front desk was very friendly, as was the staff in the lobby bar and the a la carte restaurant (didn’t try the buffet dinner restaurant).

When I visit a national park, I actually prefer staying at properties like this because they make me feel closer to nature.
